Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)
Oct 24, 2017 at 4:57 AM Post #571 of 5,166
If you don't want chinese phones, there are few other audiophile possibilities : choose the Korean ones bencherian proposes or the japanese one proposed by artpiggo (more a music player, but it's a Snapdragon 650 inside with 3GB RAM, not a 835).
If you're not in a hurry, you could wait a little so that the V30 price is more interesting (buy a V20 for $300 and sell it in 6 months ? or a G6 for $400)

Better get an otg dac ah. If you want to maximize all aspects with uncompromised sound. Giving that you dont want to import V30 from Hongkong dealer.

You could buy a LG Hifi Plus external DAC (cheap now, I found one new for §60) and attach it with an USB-C cable to your prefered device.

You recieve the cable to attach it to any microUSB smartphone in the box. But if your smartphone uses USB-C, you need to buy an additional USB type-C to USB type-C cable.
This kind of cable : https://www.amazon.com/GTcoupe-Type...508841169&sr=8-9&keywords=usb+tpe-c+to+type-c

Art the meridian its OTG compatible!??
Hariz you could buy a dragonfly black too if your iems/ cans need not so much power to be well driven, if they need more power you could wait Black Friday sale to get a better price that could suit better your budget or buy a second hand unit

It seems your only all in one option with SD835 is V30 so you may have to wait, what do you mean "connect and reconnect"?
